Attaching the Data Cable
Before you install the fax/modem software on your computer, it is
a good idea to attach the cable to your computer and phone.
1. Plug the smaller end of the cable into the accessory
connector on your phone, as shown at left.
2. The other end of the cable is a 9-pin plug (a PC RS232 plug).
Find the matching serial port on the back of your computer,
insert the 9-pin plug, and tighten the screws by hand.
To indicate the cable is attached on both ends, your phone
will beep once.
Keep in mind: To save power, some laptops deactivate unused
serial ports. If this happens, open an application that uses the
serial port, like a fax or dial-up application, and your computer will
automatically activate the port.
Installing the Software
To begin making wireless data calls, you will need to
install the software from the CD-ROM that came in the Data
Connectivity Kit. Included on the disk is the CDMA modem driver
for your computer.

What is Pre-arrangement?
Some networks require you to change a setting on your phone
before you can receive an incoming fax or data call. This is called
pre-arrangement.
If your network requires it, do not worry about placing data or fax
calls – the pre-arrangement setting only applies to receiving calls.
In pre-arrangement mode, you will not be able to receive incoming
Voice Calls. Once you have selected a pre-arrangement setting,
your phone will remain in that setting until you change it.
Continue to learn how to set up pre-arrangement.

Placing a Data Call
Making a Wireless Data Connection
Once the data cable is connected, your phone becomes a modem
for your computer. To send a fax or data, use an application on
your computer to place the call.
Keep in mind: You cannot place data or fax calls through your
phone’s keypad. All data and fax calls must be placed through the
application on your computer.
1. Make sure the cable is connected properly.
2. Open the application on your computer, like a fax or dial-up
application, and place the call through the application on
your computer.
3. The phone will display the number dialed through your
computer. If the number is in your phone’s internal Phone
Book, your phone will display the name stored in the entry.
While the connection is being made,
your phone will display: Connecting...
Your phone will automatically redial 3 times (or until it is
successful). If the call is not connected after 3 tries, the display will
return to idle.

Ending a Data Call
When making data calls, keep in mind that some of the normal
ways to end a wireless call, like pressing the Smart Button or
closing the phone, will not work.
To end a data call:
Close the connection through the application on your
computer.
Your phone will return to the idle display.
Keep in mind: If your service requires pre-arrangement,
your phone will remain in pre-arranged status when the data
call is ended. You will see either Fax Ready or Data Ready.
Note: Disconnecting the cable or turning OFF your phone will
also end a data call, but they may disrupt your computer.
See troubleshooting for more information.

Receiving a Data Call
When you have an incoming data or fax call, your phone’s display
will show what kind of call you are receiving, along with the
number of the caller. (If the number matches an entry in your
Phone Book, you will see the name stored in the entry instead).
To receive a data or fax call:
• The cable must be attached to your phone and
computer.
• Both your phone and computer must be turned ON.
• If your service requires pre-arrangement, your
phone must be set in the appropriate mode to
receive the call.
